New Putter

paulanthony

Thinking of investing in a new putter. Don't think I'd buy without trying but was looking at various options and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or general advice.

Want to spend around the €100 mark.

The Irish stores seem to have really become competitive recently - as good as the UK online stores.

Yes! C Groove Putter

I'm a massive fan of the Yes! Putters. Taking in your price range, if you can stump up an extra 5 euro, American Golf Discount have Yes! Putters at 105 euros.

Used to own a TM Classic. Not a fan. It's a very light putter and so found my lag putting very inconsistent, usually it's a strength of mine. But not with that putter.

Looks nice, will give it a look alright. When you say American Golf Discount, do you mean the shop in Tallaght?

Do you know which model they have? - Like the look of the Abbie and Dianna ones! Hear good things about them alright.

Both the Dundrum and Tallaght branches. I asked for a specific Yes! Putter(Sophia and Nicky) which they didn't have in stock but they can order for me.

I was in a rush so didn't check what they had in store. Only have my eye on the putters mentioned above tbf.

Putting is so personal its going to come down to your own preference.

Personally I think you can't go wrong with the Ping Anser - something like 40 years old and there still hasn't been a better design IMO. Most companies do a model that is basically an Anser anyway.

+1 for YES! putters. Ive a yes! tracy putter. My putting has come on so much since getting it. So much heavier & a lot easier to line up than my last putter. Great roll off it too & its lovely looking.

pick up a scotty secondhand
you wont regret it
alternatively a TM rossa

I actually got a scotty newport 2 terylium last week on ebay. Heading off to be refurbished this week. Its a lot lighter than the YES! tracy.

Well considering the OP's price range is around 100 euro, I doubt he'd get a decent condition Scotty for around that price... at least from the retailers here in Ireland.

Cheapest I've seen was a 2nd hand Scotty Cameron Studio Design 1.5 for 150 euro. A guy traded it in and within minutes I had snapped it up :P Superb putter although as mentioned, a bit light especially compared to Yes!

+1 for Yes putters. Used to 3 putt at least 3 times a round and now rarely 3 putt. Find lag putting excellent as putter is slightly heavier and gets great roll on the ball. Also knocking in 6-10 footers with much more confidence.
I bought mine ( Valerie model small mallet head) second hand on ebay for around £45 after trying them out at proshop

I also use a Yes putter and its never let me down. It is a Victoria 2 or "Vicky" as I like to call her:rolleyes:. I have tried Scottys and Odysseys and find them too light for my liking. I suppose if I played on fast greens all year round then maybe the lighter putters would work but I felt I had to swing them too fast in order to get the ball to the hole.
I had a 2ball SRT before Vicky and it almost broke my heart, lag putting with it was a nightmare because I left everything short. Traded it for the YES and glad i did.

WHIP IT!

I have an older version of this putter having had a regular blade-style Ping before that. I have to say, this club transformed my putting overnight and to be honest, it's just gotten better with time.

In about two years, I've gone from being nothing short of pathetic on the greens to the point now where a pal of mine who plays off 2 described me as "a really good putter" in conversation recently. I was bleedin gobsmacked!!

Som for what it's worth, I can recommend the above series of putters. Great weighting and great feel.

I have this exact putter and can only describe it as savage. I would have been a very poor putter earlier in my days but can honestly say since I have bought this putter it has saved me a handful of shots every single round I play. I love the weight in it which a lot of people comment on and reckon its too heavy but it keeps it more on line for me which is what I like.

I do agree its a very personal choice so try em all out and see what suits, but in regards a putter this one is up there with them all in my opinion

This is also what I like most about mine. It helps get the ball rolling smoothly with less effort. Having said that, like you say, it might not suit everyone...

Thanks for all the replies.

Like the Ping Anser type design and have decided to go with the Yes Tracy. Personally a felt the extra weight helped me to keep it steady at address and during the stroke. Basically it felt best out of all the ones I tried. The Odyssey Anser types were decent too but still felt a bit light in comparison.
Agree very much with earlier posters who advised the TM Rossas would be light.

Also decided to buy a Ping Rapture 10.5deg stiff shaft driver. These things happen when you venture into a golf shop on a Sunday afternoon:D
